Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 223 Aldrich Merlin (2)

She was mesmerized by his true self and if Zoe said he was that good person; I had no need to be this on edge from him.

I calm down and looked at Anna, who couldn't take her eyes away from him.

But when I calmed down, others started shouting.

"Eon?! Anna! Are you alright?" Mom shouted with her eyes wide open and filled with fear.

"Eon?! Are you alright?! And... Anna?" Dad shouted, but he was calmer than her and when he looked at Anna's admiration-filled eyes, even he was surprised.

"Sir Merlin?! What the hell do you think you are doing?!" my grandpa shouted and Rein's grandpa followed after him.

"Why would you even sneak up on a young one like that?!"

Both of them were angry at him but, they were surprised by my reaction too.

To think I would notice him, and even more, attack him like that reflexively.

It was amazing but still unbelievable.

And that wasn't even all of it. All of them started to shout and curse at him for doing something like that.

And our grandmas were some of the most furious ones.

They were genuinely angry at him for doing that, and after all this, this person was still smiling shamelessly.

Anna just chuckled at all this and asked me to put her down.

And seeing this… everything actually calmed down.

Rein was also surprised by this, but more than that, she was furious at this person for a different reason.

And I understood that one, for some reason.

Not that either of us can put that into words, but that was a surprise, and he just laughed at all this.

"Yes, yes everyone. It was my mistake and I really apologize for this. And Eon."

His voice was also young but filled with wisdom and it reminded me of the ancient willow tree.

It was almost identical to that.

But, when he just openly apologized to everyone as well as bowed his head to me and Anna, I couldn't help but be surprised even more.

"I just wanted to surprise the child hero of the empire but, never could have I ever thought he would actually notice my presence and even attack me like that.

And after all this, I have to say young boy, you are more than what meets the normal eyes..."

And after saying that, he just smiled at me warmly as his eyes glowed in a low white light that Rein and I noticed clearly.

[[ *An unknown entity is trying to invade the mind and look at the status window.

The opponent's power is too much.

The current state of the body won't be able to hold the burden of mental defense.

Eon, it would be best to just let him have a look at it.

He's too overwhelming for us right now.* ]]

[[ "Of course he is. How am I supposed to do anything against the all-seeing eyes of an archmage?

Anyway… amazing work, Lucy. I will give permission. Just have him look at it, not like we can do anything against him, anyway.

I don't believe we will be able to see his status window, right?" ]]

Lucy was amazing, and I knew if someone like him wanted to look at my status window, I would have no choice but to let him, even if I had a way to block it.

I was strong, no question.

But the opponent was an entity that had transcended natural bonds a long time ago.

Now, he was something that was more than just some normal entity of nature.

He was an important part of the world itself.

And Lucy is even more amazing to actually be able to have the power to block something like that.

She was amazing, just that I was too weak to fathom her power for now.

And even though I knew the answer to the question, I had just asked her… I wanted to know.

[[ *Yes, Eon. Good, quick thinking. He is too smart that he would have figured out my abilities from even a little more delay.

But, yes. It's as you are thinking.

He is already a [Transcendent].

He doesn't have a 'status window' to even see.

And the world authority he holds is something special too. Even more, he most definitely had more than one world authority.

But after all this and him being a sly fox, I believe he is a good person.

And as Anna and Zoe expressed, he is a pure nice person even after his bad habits and weird tendencies.

Just take care and be yourself.

He at least won't be able to overwhelm you.*]]

She was really careful when choosing her words and I knew just from his actions until now... he was better than me in the thing I was best at in the previous life.

Deception, acting, the way to control the surrounding atmosphere, the human mind's working, and manipulation…

'Damn... why is he even here in the first place?! I wanted a peaceful school life with no burden or something.

And Rein never said something like this was going to happen.

And... most importantly…

What will his reaction be after seeing my status window?'

After my master, he was the first one to actually see my status window after I went to the great forest.

Not even her grandma had been able to check my stats and the same for dad.

And their skills weren't even close to Rein's eyes of truth, so they didn't even activate against me.

But this time was different.

His ability would work against me and he will see the unreal stats of a barely twelve-year-old boy as well as the progress of Origin skill and other skills.

'I am a [Advanced-intermediate] level Origin skill user, and I am still barely twelve years old.

It was impossible to even imagine someone like me was real but, I was, and more than that, he would see the (Stage-0) skill for maybe the first time.

Even I didn't know something of that rank was possible but, Lucy was special, and he would know it was a special skill in itself.

So just how will he react after seeing this? If he could actually see it, that is.

And I had no doubt he wouldn't sense Ronna in my soul if not the Solnova throughout my entire body, too.

Well, his reaction was something I was looking forward to, and I didn't need to wait for long...

"Holy mother nature... what in the world are you, boy...?"

An unbelieving reaction from one of the strongest in the world... quite unique actually.
